Brush cleanser – good for many things!

Brush cleansers, good for spot cleaning brushes  right? Yes. But it’s good for many other little things!

First of all you need to make the product more easy to work with. I pour brush cleanser over into a small spray bottle. You can get those anywhere almost. This particular one is measured to be safe to take with you on air planes.

When you have done this you will realize that it is indeed very handy to use on those little things that may be overlooked!

I use mine (among other things) to:

Clean the computer mouse – just spray once or twice on the mouse and wipe clean

Clean the touch screen on my phone – just spray once or twice on a clean tissue and wipe screen clean. Note: don’t spray directly on the phone, you might damage speakers and such!

These are just a few tips on how you can use a product that is meant for one thing – to work as a multitasking product! And of course most any brush cleanser will do. I just personally love the MAC one. If you are on a budget then do use something you can afford if you feel that this one is too pricey! But I feel that one or two sprays of this will not make an impact on how long it lasts. Little goes a long way!

My 2011 Beauty Top Picks

I didn’t blog much in 2011 but that doesn’t mean I didn’t use beauty products! Here is a list of my personal top picks for 2011. These products are not necessarily new but I used them extensively throughout the year.

 

SKIN: Paula’s Choice Exfoliating 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid Lotion

I have been using this lotion without really mentioning it to you. I have used it for about six months, daily. And I can honestly say that this now is a HG product that I have incorporated in my daily skin care routine. My skin has cleared up visibly and it feels and looks much smoother than before. I will make a proper review of it; probably on YouTube.

Happy New Year 2012

Hello there!

Now we are on the other side of New Years and that always leaves me with a feeling of a fresh start. And it actually is for me this time, for real, as you might have read here on the blog earlier.

2011 have been a slow blog year for me. Both personally and blog-wize.. 2012 will be much better, I can feel that! :-) I will be making videos again and I will be updating the blog regularly! :-)

Have a wonderful Sunday and I will talk to you soon!

It works! Garnier Caffeine Roll-On – Review! Pictures!

Before I start this blog post I want to warn you for what you are about to see. I am about to show you a photo of my face without any makeup on. Trust me.. a warning is in place here. lol..

The product I am going to talk about is the Garnier Caffeine Eye Roll-On. The tinted one. There is a clear version available too.

It comes in a roll-on type tube with a screw-on lid. The package contains 15ml and price will vary depending on where you live. It is not overly expensive though and it will last you a long time since you only use a little product per application. I was recommended to try this product by someone and eventually I caved in and bought it. A decision I don’t regret! The roll-on is said to reduce the appearance of dark circles and bags under the eyes. And… yes… it does just that! I find it quite amazing actually and haven’t been this excited over a product in  a long time!

Let’s first take a look at the packaging:

MAC Metal-X Cream Shadow Swatches

I snagged three of the new MAC Metal-X Cream Shadows as soon as they were released here. I can easily see myself getting more of them. They are quite lovely in person. Quite lovely..!

The three I got are Cyber, Palladium and Fusion Gold. Both Palladium and Fusion gold are backup-worthy. MAC’s description of these three shades are:

Cyber – Metallic silver with silver pearl

Palladium – Metallic ash

Fusion Gold - Light pinky beige with gold pearl

My pan-photos turned out quite crappy because I took them with the wrong camera…. The pattern on the shadows gets “destroyed” after a few uses so I saw no point in retaking the pictures now with the good camera… but here are my photos of the untouched pans anyway:
